Day 1 - THIS SUCKS!

[scooners]

I have made the decision, I am done!  I have chewed/dipped for about 25 years.  Last week I turned 40.  I think at 40, it's time to grow up!  I need to be nicotine free for myself, my family, my faith and my finances.

On the way to the store for gum, seeds and water.  I appreciate support.  I know I can do this!

Yup - this is the best place to be, but don't do it because you turned 40, or for somebody else. Do it for yourself and be completely selfish. My daughter put the whole damn thing into perspective for me this weekend. She is only 6 and had already come to identify the "can" as something daddy always had. She wondered out loud where it went. I told her it was bad stuff and it was costing me time with her so I was going to quit using it. After a few moments of consideration, she said "So you really are quitting for me then?"

Point is: when you quit for you, everything else falls into place, you will never blame your quit on somebody else and potentially cave, and the rewards are great.

The average age of grown-ups is about forty ......be a bad ass instead! They have the instestinal fortitude to be an example...an inspiration...a leader...a man of their word! Are you a Badass? Prove it!

Welcome to the suck, drink fruit juice or water, helps with the headaches.
I ate a lot of gobbstopper jaw breakers, they packed in the gum to help satisfiy the oral fixation. The sugar helped me keep an more level mood......you will have dip rage....let it out to us! If you need anything, shout it out on the boards and we will come running. Get some phone numbers of some guys in your group. more on this later......most important . You give your word early in the morning and take dip off the table, so caving is not an option!

Welcome to the best decision you will ever make!!! And you're right, it does suck... but only for a little while then life becomes truly good.

You can do this. Find your quit group. Post roll today, give your word, then don't break that. And when tomorrow morning gets here do the same thing over again.

Make sure you seek out help and get phone numbers of guys in your group.
